The old man chuckled.

What Ying Yifeng said was similar to Ji's, except that he was the one who handled it, so he said it in great detail, and he could explain every transaction on the ledger very clearly.

Qin Wan couldn't stop sneering in his heart.

With such a good memory and such a fluent memory, it's really hard for him.

All of a sudden, the two groups of people in the court said their own things, and everyone was very confident, and it was difficult to distinguish between right and wrong, and the old emperor frowned impatiently.

Ying Yifeng's eyes rolled slightly, and finally the whole person crawled on the ground, "Qi, Qi, the emperor, what the grass people said is true, and the grass people also know that the silver used to sell private salt is used by the lord to raise private soldiers."

The crowd was in an uproar.

This......

Everyone knows that the Bai family army is brave, and they also know that the military funds of the Bai family army are all extra funds allocated by the old emperor, that is to say, the Bai family army is a group of troops raised by the old emperor with his own silver, so to be precise, the Bai family army is the old emperor's people, but it is handed over to the protector to manage, and after a long time, both the people and the officials of the court and the central government habitually call this army "Bai family army".

Because since the previous generations of protectors, the people of the Bai family are royalists, so no matter how powerful the competition for the prince is, several princes have not taken the initiative to find the protector, because they know that unless they sit in that position with their ability, they will not get the support of the protector's family. Although the attitude of the Protector of the Kingdom made people very angry, they also knew that once they sat in that position, the Protector and the Bai Family Army would be absolutely loyal, so even if they were uncomfortable in their hearts, they were not really dissatisfied with the Protector and the Bai Family, because they knew their loyalty and strength better than anyone else.

But now, it has actually been revealed that the protector of the country sells private salt and uses silver to support the Bai family's army.

They will not be stupid to think that the protector is considerate of the old emperor, looks for the treasury, and raises money to support the army by himself.

Over the years, the prestige of the Bai family army in the people has become higher and higher, and it has almost become the patron saint of the dragon capital, as long as there is any war, the first thing the people think of is the Bai family army, and this army has almost become the army of the protector of the country, if the heart is big, it is not impossible to replace the one on the dragon chair.

Now, the border pass is stationed in the Bai family army, and it is also the Bai family army that fights in the southern Xinjiang, although there is Duan Wang Shizi in southern Xinjiang, but not to mention that Duan Wang Shizi is Qin Wan's future husband, that is, Duan Wang is also a general with the same name as the Protector of the Kingdom, if these two join forces, then the dragon is ...... What else is the matter with the old emperor, and what is the matter with these princes?

Ying Yifeng's words stirred up a thousand waves, which made these people think a lot and make up a lot of brains, and even the old emperor who had always maintained the family of the protector was silent. After all, when it comes to imperial power, since ancient times, people in high positions, which one is not suspicious, the old emperor is close to the Huguo Gong family on the surface, and he is also overt and secretly protecting his shortcomings in some things, but it is because of the loyalty of the Huguo Gong family and the strength of the Bai family's army, but if these two things are not guaranteed, then ...... What's the use of keeping them?

The old emperor did not deliberately hide his emotions, and anyone could see from his face that he was shaken.

At this time, Xiao Jingxing came in.

Along the way, Xiao Jingxing looked at Qin Wan and Lao Guogong with complicated eyes, sympathy, worry, struggle, and wavering.

Qin Wan frowned and leaned towards the old man.

"Your Majesty, the minister was ordered to take someone to thoroughly investigate the Protector's Mansion and found this ......" Opened his mouth with difficulty, Xiao Jingxing buried his head and didn't dare to look directly into Qin Wan's eyes.

Books!

Everyone was already numb, and they didn't have to think about it to know that this account book recorded the expenses of the Bai family's army.

After a pause, Xiao Jingxing was ruthless and continued: "The minister also found out...... It was also found that the Bai family's training base in Qingshan was a soldier who had not been registered in the army, and most of them were street children and little beggars, most of whom had been training for five years, and some of them had been training for three years. ”

The time is about the same as the time when the Protector sold private salt, these people should have been recruited by the Protector later, uh, no, the people who were found later, expanded into the new army, did not have military status, and were still private soldiers.

What Xiao Jingxing presented to the old emperor was this roster, a roster of private soldiers, a thick one, even more than the regular Bai family army, what does this mean!

Qin Wan and Lao Guogong have been silent, at this time, both of them know very well that all the people in the Protector's Mansion should have been arrested, but they don't know what happened to Bai Huafeng and Bai Huayu who guarded the border pass, and if they took away the talisman in their hands at this time, it would have an impact on the war.

"Go on." Obviously, the old emperor is not finished yet.

Xiao Jingxing secretly glanced at Qin Wan.

"Say!"

The old emperor's majestic voice, Xiao Jingxing's eyes closed, and he said stubbornly, "Kekesu's side intercepted the communication between the Protector and Dongqiao, and Weichen also asked Wei Zide from Wei Zide that the Protector was plotting to cooperate with Dongqiao, and was ready to ...... Prepare for ......"

Needless to say, I know what it is, but I didn't expect that even the most loyal protector had a different heart.

Xiao Jingxing took out the so-called communication.

Some of the people present gloated, and some believed in the old man.

This kind of thing, how can it be so easy to find evidence, the old prince has been in power for so long, and he came down from the battlefield, how can he leave these tricks with decisive means, not to mention......

Looking at Ying Yifeng who was kneeling on the ground, those who stood firm would think in their hearts: How much ability does a steward of the outer courtyard have to make the Protector of the Kingdom feel at ease to hand over the matter of private salt to him?

If it weren't for the accident, they wouldn't even know who Ying Yifeng was, and they would help the protector to do this thing that is related to the life of his family, who would believe it?

However, thinking of this, these people also have an extra heart, is the old emperor going to ...... Cleaned up the portal?

It's just that the king of Zhenshan is still eyeing the front, and the old emperor is going to fight in the nest again, and he will openly protect the country?

Without the backing of the Protector and the Bai Family, can the battle between the old emperor and the king of Zhenshan guarantee victory?

In case the king of Zhenshan takes advantage of the situation at this time, then ......

Everyone couldn't guess the old emperor's thoughts, the Ji family entered the palace and stayed in the imperial study for so long, no one knew what they said to the old emperor in the imperial study during this time, and how the old emperor pondered.

Or is it that when he was in the imperial study, the old emperor had already found out the selfishness of the Protector family, so now he had to kill the Protector and kill them all, and the first strike was strong, and the old emperor would not allow anyone to peep into his imperial power.

Everyone thought that they had an epiphany, and their eyes at the old man were also filled with anger.

"What else?" The old emperor didn't show it on his face, but everyone knew that the dragon was going to be angry.

Xiao Jingxing straightened up, very hesitant.

"Smack!" The old emperor slapped on the armrest of the dragon chair.

Everyone in the court bowed down one after another.

Xiao Jingxing also shuddered, bowed his head, and continued: "This is a letter handed over to Weichen by Mrs. Zhongyonghou, the letter of the Protector of the Kingdom secretly communicating with the enemy country, Zhongyonghou and Mrs. Zhongyonghou are outside the palace at the moment, and there is ......"

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Jingxing said resignedly: "According to Wei Zide's confession from Dongqiao Kingdom, the Duke of Protector is for His Royal Highness...... errands. ”

Zhang Yiye!

It's actually the Seventh Prince Zhang Yiye!

"Qin Ruizhuo is not missing, but when he was connecting for His Royal Highness the Seventh, he was found by someone, and he was injured in the process of fighting and escaped, and he hid his traces in Xiaoqingshan."

No wonder.

Everyone understood.

In this way, Xiaoqingshan is Zhang Yiye's industry.

Since when did His Highness the Seventh have such scheming and courage, and since when did the Protector start the team?

Thinking of the relationship between Qin Wan and His Eighth Highness Zhang Yuxi, as well as the friendship between Bai Zhishui and Hua Guifei, everyone seemed to understand it in their hearts.

The Protector of the Kingdom is because of Qin Wan, so he is on Zhang Yiye's side, and Qin Ruizhuo is the eldest brother who takes Qin Wan as the sky, as long as Qin Wan's words, what else will Qin Ruizhuo not help her do?

So, the root of everything is Qinwan!

"Qinwan!" The angry old emperor called Qin Wan's name, "What do you have to say?" ”

"Your Majesty," Qin Wan's address to the old emperor also changed, "You also believe in one-sided words, what is the difference between you and the faint monarch?" ”

"Presumptuous!"

"The emperor is angry!" Gonggong Wen worked hard to play the role of a peacemaker, "You know that the county lord of Anping is the most filial on weekdays, and he will not make this or this kind of ......"

"Really?" The old emperor laughed angrily, "I also thought that the protector was my most trusted courtier, but ......"

The crowd was so frightened that they did not dare to answer.

Qin Wan "bravely" confronted the old emperor, with undisguised ridicule in his eyes, "One is a courtier who is loyal to you, and the other is a scheming villain, you actually believe in villains and not courtiers, such an emperor, the dragon is not far from the country." ”

Everyone was shocked!

Everyone knows that Qin Wan is open-mouthed by relying on her identity, but she actually confronts the old emperor without knowing the sky, is she afraid that she will not die completely?

This stupid woman!

Does she know that she has her current identity and can walk sideways in Shengjing, all because of the person sitting on the dragon chair, without that person, she is nothing.

Obviously, Qin Wan is protecting the short, but she is protecting her grandfather's family, and no matter how much the old emperor loves her, in her heart, she is just an outsider.

The old man did not have a word of argument, and by this time he knew better than anyone that there was no room for turn.

These evidences, if you want to scrutinize them carefully, have a lot of unreasonableness, but once the superior has suspicions, no matter how loyal people are, in their eyes, they are all ill-intentioned wolves, not to mention, this matter also involves his throne.

"Your Majesty." Another group of people entered the main hall, and everyone subconsciously looked over.

The one who was escorted to the front was the injured Qin Ruizhuo.

In just a few days, Qin Ruizhuo was covered in the smell of dust, looking very down, coupled with the bloody clothes on his body, how to look at it, how to look at it.

Qin Ruizhuo kept looking at Qin Wan with a guilty face, obviously because he didn't do what Qin Wan explained to him, and he felt guilty.
